This book examines how non-fictional travel accounts were
rewritten, reshaped, and reoriented in translation between 1750 and
1850, a period that saw a sudden surge in the genre's popularity.
It explores how these translations played a vital role in the
transmission and circulation of knowledge about foreign peoples,
lands, and customs in the Enlightenment and Romantic periods. The
collection makes an important contribution to travel writing
studies by looking beyond metaphors of mobility and cultural
transfer to focus specifically on what happens to travelogues in
translation. Chapters range from discussing essential differences
between the original and translated text to relations between
authors and translators, from intra-European narratives of Grand
Tour travel to scientific voyages round the world, and from
established male travellers and translators to their historically
less visible female counterparts. Drawing on European travel
writing in English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, the
book charts how travelogues were selected for translation; how they
were reworked to acquire new aesthetic, political, or gendered
identities; and how they sometimes acquired a radically different
character and content to meet the needs and expectations of an
emergent international readership. The contributors address
aesthetic, political, and gendered aspects of travel writing in
translation, drawing productively on other disciplines and research
areas that encompass aesthetics, the history of science, literary
geography, and the history of the book.
